The perfect roast chicken recipe doesn't require a lot of extra ingredients, just some kosher salt and freshly ground pepper.
Ingredients
Instructions
Remove chicken giblets. If desired, cut out and discard wishbone. Thoroughly pat chicken dry; generously season with salt and pepper, both inside and out. (If you have time, refrigerate uncovered at least 1 hour or up to overnight.)
Preheat oven to 450°. Tie legs together with twine, if desired, and tuck wing tips under body of chicken.
Arrange chicken breast side up in a roasting pan or large ovenproof skillet. Roast until juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer inserted into center of thigh registers 165°, 50 minutes to 1 hour.
Baste chicken with pan juices. Tent with foil and let it rest 15 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and carve.
